JACKSON, MI -- U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg compared the 2012 national election to war during a Mitt Romney campaign event in Jackson on Wednesday.

"It's a fight," Walberg told about 50 people at the Victory Center, the new Republican election headquarters for Jackson County, at 414 S. Jackson St. "It's a battle. It's a warrior situation if we are to return our country to its greatness and expand upon its greatness."
